Technically we have over 5k users and only a few hundred votes on that thread. That's roughly only 4% of the rtf population that voted. Therefore you can't really say "the members" are in favor of doing anything. Course you may just be getting conditioned to in your state. How you coming on turning in your guns and learning to smoke pot?

That right there is hilarious, in a kind and caring way though.

"The longer you let a dog go in the wrong direction the more they think they are going in the right direction" Don Remien.

Well we could break it down this way. 4% of RTF had strong feelings to vote one way or another. The other 96% were indifferent. If we focus on the 4%, 3% were adamant against letting the banned have amnesty. Clearly that was a strong opinion among those 3% and its safe to say anyone against amnesty voted.

That being the case, the 96% would fall into the 1% side leaving us with 97% for amnesty and 3% against. A complete landslide for amnesty.

Totally bad logic. The 96% are for the status quo, which is Chris decides

Well, this started off as a really interesting thread. Too bad we couldn't keep it that way. (Rick_C 2009, Classic RTF)

Personally, I like variety. If someone who "doesn't know anything," gives me a good idea that just happens to work, I'm as happy as a hooker at the high roller table. I think it's true for any discipline. Of course a bit of salt in a fresh wound adds a bit of entertainment, as well.

What the heck is keeping you so busy in the N. British Isles that you don't have time for a doggy forum? Anyway, have a safe journey back. I'm sure there is alot of value in your observations.

... RTF is not what it once was, both for experienced training advice and just the atmosphere of the place. In part, IMO, because some have left for one reason or another that added content and flavor to the board, a handful of classic/mainstays of RTF have passed, and there are WAY more thin skinned members over the last couple of years that sick the mods on posters at the drop of a hat.

So true....reminds me of the good ole days of the "Bait O Lympics" where it became a sport to annoy certain whiney, thin-skinned members, mostly internet heros, mainly by calling them out on their, ahem, exaggerations/resume padding. You got a bronze medal if your slap resulted in one of them tattling on you or complaining about you to a moderator. Silver medals were for being threatened with lawsuits (rallying cry of white trash everywhere "I'll SUE YOU!") and the Olympic Gold Medal winning Master Baiters were the ones that received death threats.
